Biryani is an exquisite celebratory meal featuring layers of aromatic lamb and rice. Chef Varun Inamdar emphasizes the art of making a restaurant-quality biryani at home through five unique ingredients. One standout enhancement is truffle oil, which introduces a rounded umami depth to the dish. Inamdar encourages its use as a finishing touch to add complexity and aroma. This not only ensures a blend of flavors but also complements the biryani's vibrant profile, elevating a traditional recipe into a gourmet experience.
Truffle oil is perfect for amping up the savoriness of biryani and 'adds an umami depth' to its existing flavors, according to Varun Inamdar.
The best truffle oils have a distinctive musky and earthy note. Made by infusing good quality oil with genuine truffles, they can be expensive.
The benefit to using oil, as opposed to shavings of bonafide truffle, is that oil costs less, lasts longer, and is more readily available.
It also has a low smoke point so it isn't useful for fast frying or sauteing. Rather, the oil should be used sparingly over the cooked dish.
